Assembly Instructions: Kit #15

Conventional Brushed Motor

1. Leave about 3" (7-8 cm) and wind the wire 10-35 times around the AA battery. You do not

have to be neat as some randomness does not affect the motor performance and may help

the coil to hold its shape better. Leave 3" (7-8 cm) at the other end of the coil.

2. Carefully remove the battery and wrap the ends around the coil 2-3 times to hold the coil

together with both ends extending perpendicular to the coil as shown below. The ends

should be aligned in a straight line to form a good axle. This step requires a lot of accuracy

because the balance of the coil is extremely important.
